The combination of Internet, intelligent machines, production systems and processes has derived in the fourth industrial revolution. This time, physical world is being seamlessly integrated into the productive processes through the network. The ‘Industry 4.0’ concept arises as a way to face the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution. But this concept is much more than the ‘internet of things’ or smart factory (both included in industry 4.0), as it emphasizes the idea of consistent...

During the last years, it is clear the growing importance of endurance sports, especially middle- and long-distance races, included or not within the also very popular endurance triathlon. Currently, these athletes support the workouts on a smart watch or heart rate monitor as well as software applications for analysis and statistics. These software applications make possible to analyze a posteriori data itineraries, to make comparisons, to obtain statistical values, ... facilitating the realization of comprehensive and...

In the last few decades, robotic devices have been proposed as an alternative to traditional rehabilitation procedures. Longer treatments, repeatability, adaptability, cost-effectiveness and the possibility to analyze the patient progress, are some of their benefits. One of the most important issues in rehabilitation robotics is the design of control approaches for proper and safe user interaction. Thus, the aim of the project is to design and implement a suitable advanced control structure for rehabilitation robots.

About GCIS

The focus of the Control and System Integration research group encompasses three well distinguished but complementary research areas: Application of Information and Communication Technologies to Industrial Systems, Intelligent manufacturing, and Advanced Control Robotics.

We offer three different services to technological centres and institutions: carring out development projects, writing technical reports, and organising and developing training courses.
